Ian Harding leans up against a row of lockers in this exclusive, new shot from his Troix Magazine shoot.

The 24-year-old Pretty Little Liars teacher where he pulled his inspiration for Mr. Ezra Fitz from. “He’s not like any English teachers [I ever had], but he does seem like the cross between my Calculus teacher with a Latin professor that taught at my high school. Both were really cool guys, so I had a lot to work with.”

Ian also opened up about the lack of odd jobs he had before landing the role on PLL. “[I] didn’t have any odd jobs, but…certainly had painful ones. I worked at a clothing store in a fairly affluent part of Washington, D.C., and was treated like a peasant. So I do have a lot of respect for people in the retail business.”
